Mk4 coilover issues
Hi there hope Somerton can help I have a mk4 escort and have fitted gaz coilovers but since fitting hearing terrible noises sounds like the inner wheel well are flexing. I've striped down and refitted no issues added a strut brace but the noises still persist any ideas? I have read about welding up the strut tops but what does that really mean? Any help welcomed as haven't driven the car due to the noises and if I can fix I might go back to rear standard shocks and lowering spring as ride is that bad.
Thanks
Thanks

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
You need to reinforce the rear strut tops because they are not designed to take sprung weight. I've done this to one of my Escorts, make a box section that can be welded on the strut top and inner 1/4 panel plus weld every couple of inches on the seems around that area.
